Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders
SOUTH BOUND BROOK – The Somerset County Division of Solid Waste Management is partnering with the Somerset County Road Division to collect scrap tires Thursday, July 14, through Saturday, July 16, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
County farmers and residents can drop off up to eight tires per household at the Robert Morris School, located at 122 Elizabeth St. Automobile and truck tires, with or without rims, will be accepted.
Proof of residency is required to take advantage of this program.
Proper disposal of tires benefits communities. Scrap tires have the potential to collect standing water and attract mosquitoes. To prevent West Nile virus, tires should be stored indoors or in a covered container until they can be properly disposed. This requirement is enforceable by the Somerset County Health Department.
The tire drop-off program is funded through a grant from the state Department of Environmental Protection.
